THE IMPORTED GUERNSEY, JoLIE II.
The Guernseys, trifle larger, redder
and more even tempered than the Jer-
seys, made good show, being represented
in the entries by four herds. In this ex-
hibit was included one of the most ia
nous cows Of this breed in this country,
The imported Julie I'd.
An important lesson to be learned Of
this show is that in the friendly rivalry
between exhibitors Of the four leading
dairy breeds all have shown excellences
that insure each strain a continuance OF
prosperity with its own advocates and ad-
mirers. In word, each breed has a suf-
ficient number Of merits above the dis
tinctively American COW to win 1t q COW
eted place in the herds Of our country.

Fruit Packages.

The refusal Of the commission OF New
York city to return to fruit growers their
peach baskets, on the plea that it is too
much trouble to look after these, and the
refusal of the growers to give away their
fruit packages, on the plea that they can
not afford it, is causing 40 end OF dissat-
isfaction. At recent convention OF fruit
growers of Delaware and Maryland res
olution was adopted to dispense with the
services of all middlemen and make efforts
to get buyers to deal with the growers at
their own orchards. 1t was resolued to
organize branches of the fruit exchange
at all shipping points in the peninsula,
and by every means to discourage the
shipment of peaches on consignment; to
sell only to commission men who Will
agree to pay five cents each for all baskets
not returned. @

AYRSHIRE, DUCHESS OF sMITHFIELD.
The Ayrshires, which were present in
next largest numbers to the Jerseys, were
headed by the Duchess of Smithf1eld, the
best Ayrshire probably ever produced in
this country. This COW has butter rec
ord of over nineteen pounds in week,
and milk record Of over 10000 pounds
in year. Most Of the Ayrshires at the
exhibition were dark red and white, the
favorite cOlors.
There was remarkably fine display Of
Holstein- Friesians, including Clothilde,
the COW which leads the world with milk
record of 26,021 pounds in one year. Clio
thilde is a large COW, weighing 1000
pounds, and, like most good mixers, she
possesses the wedge form and shows enor-

Fire blight OF the pear, the apple,
ounce, etc, Is one of the most f0rmida-
bic diseases to which fruit trees are liable.
Scientists differ in their opinions as to
whether it is caused by the sun, the at
mosphere or an insect. 1t attacks the
trees at different periods Of the growing
season from June to September, and gen.
orally in the young parts first; the leaves
flag. the sap becomes thick and brown,
oozing out in globules through the bark,
and has something of very disagreeable
odor. and the diseased branch or part
turns black, as if it were burned by fire.
When the pear tree is attacked it is diff
cult to save it, the disease spreads so rap
idly. In apple and ounce it is less fatal,
rarely killing more than portion OF the
tree.
Authorities differ as widely in their
treatment of fire blight as scientists do in
ascribing the cause of the disease. The
only effective and trustworthy treatment,
in our opinion, is to cut away the very
day the disease is discovered the blight
parts into the sound wood, where there is
not the slightest trace OF disease; burn up
Immediately all the diseased portions cut
off. AS high authority as P. Barry says:
'The only remedy for fire blight is to cut
instantly Cne DliBAUcu PdltSf ihlu hAio
healthy wood and burn them up imme-
diately." Charles Downing said: "When
the disease has actually appeared the only
remedy seems to be the knife and the saw,
most vigorously applied, to eradicate
every symptom of diseased and discolored
bark or wood. II you would save your
tree, cut at once on the first apparent
symptom of the disease, and be sure you
cut it clean out" .r. r...
Twig blight attacks the young shoots Of
the current seasons growth and causes
these to wither and become brown or curly
in midsummer. The cause is unknown
and the injury is not materially great
The remedy is cutting away at the first
appearance. fft
Apple blight, like the dreaded fire
blight, is serious disease. It attacks
whole branch or limb, and sometimes half
of the top is destroyed before the disease
becomes apparent to an ordinary observer
Again, there is no remedy except to cut
away the diseased portions and burn
them up -"
Pear leaf blight is sort of rust that
appears on the leaves during July and
August, first in small brown spots These
spread rapidly over the leaves until their
growth is stopped. To avoid the evil ef-
fects of leaf blight the great point is to get
rapid, vigorous growth before mid
summer.

Every farm should own good farmer.
A man never has good luck who has q bad

The masses against the classes, the world
over.
A man who does not love praise is not .
full man.
A man must ask leave OF his stomach to be

The greatest event in hens life Is made

A proud man is seldom grateful man, for
he never thinks that he gets as much as he
deserves
That cannot be healthy condition In
which few prosper and the great mass are

Communities are blest in the proportion in
which money is diffused through the whole

Gambling with cards or dice or stocks is all

Newspapers are the schoolmasters of the
common people. That endless book, the

One of the original tendencies of the hu-
man mind, fundamental and universal, is the

Poverty is very good in poems, but it Is

practical life.
A cow is the saint of the barnyard. She
could he fat If she only would be selfish. But
she economies beauty that she may be pro-

No city bred man has any business to ex-
pect satisfaction in a pure country life for
two months unless he has genius for leisure

Debt rolls man over and over, binding

devours him.
Our government is built upon the vote
But votes that are purchasable are quick
sands, and a government built on them stands
upon corruption and revolution.
A man is great bundle Of tools. He is

throat and twisting it around until the
worms are dislodged. What causes these
worms is not clearly understood Fumi-

THRUsH-BLACKBIRD-R
The blackbird is the "ouzel cock with golden
bill" so often mentioned in our ballad poetry.
His song is heard very early, reminding us
that spring with its pretty primroses is near
at hand. The blackbird is dusky gentleman
of rather solitary habits, and excepting the
society of his dark lady bird, cares very little
for company. Blackbirds here usually breed
nine broods year and lay from four to six
eggs of greenish hue, spotted and streaked
with brown. t.-e

Barnyard Manure. ~
The amount Of manure which an animal
will DROP and which can be saved and
used for fertilizing purposes, will, OF
course, vary with the size OF the animal
and the amount Of food eaten. 1t will
vary in weight from one-half to two-thirds
of the weight of food and water consumed
and bedding used. If, says The National
Live Stock Journal, all the liquids and
solids are saved, liberal estimate would
be $50 to 175 pounds daily for an average
sized COW or OK. This, of course, means
their weight just as they are voided:
Practically, however, large per cent. OF
the droppings is allowed to go to waste,
and quite generally all the urine is lost.
How much the loss is may be inferred
by the following table, giving German
estimate of the weight Of droppings, liquid
and solid, by the several animals named,

Tho Cow from Child,s Standpoint.
Here is little girls composition on the
COW, as it appeared in Hartford Times: A
COW is an animal with four legs on the under
side. The tail is longer than the legs, but it
is not used to stand on The COW kills flies
with her tail A cow has big ears, that
wiggle on hinges; so does the tail. A COW is
bigger than calf, but not as big as an ele-
plant She is made so small that she can go
into the barn when nobody is looking. Some
COWS are black and some hook. A dog was
hooked once. She tossed the dog that wor
ried the cat that killed the rat. Black cows
give white milk, so do other cows. Milkmen
sell milk to buy their little girls dresses,
which they put water in and chalk. Cows
chew cuds and each COW finds its own chew.
This is all there is about cows.

Balls That Boys Toss.

The number of base balls made every day
at the present time in the United States is
about 10000. There are four large manufac-
tories-one in New York, one in Philadel-
phia, one in Bridgeport, Conn.,, and one in
Attica, Mass. The process by which the best
quality league ball is made is interesting. All
the work is done by hand, machines having
been tried repeatedly without permanent sue
cess The center of best league bali is of
solid rubber. Around this is wound about
three ounces of Shaker yarn of the best
quality, dampened. Then covering of horse
hide is put on. This completes what is termed
the first finish. Then the ball is wound
tightly with an ounce Of the yarn, which is
again wound with camel's hair to make it of
a uniform smoothness Over this is put the
final covering of carefully selected horse hide.
The rubber ball, which forms the center OF all
base balls, is imported from Germany
